This is perhaps the smallest individual of the Liliaceous 
group. The bulb is scarcely larger than a good sized pea. 
The scape, no thicker than a bristle, and scarcely two inches 
high, appears before the development of the leaves, and bears 
a solitary nodding greenish-white flower, little more than a 
line in length, and a third of a line in diameter, subtended 
by two minute opposite bractez, which are fixed to the 
Scape by their centres, and are free and patent both at base 
and apex. The flower is succeeded by an erect capsule, but 
we have not seen it in a ripe state.—As a genus, it will stand 
near Uropetalum, from which it differs in habit and in the 
form of the corolla.
